Empire exploded on the TV scene last year and became a pop culture smash. With Cookie, Lucious, and the whole Lyon clan you knew you were in for an epic, melodramatic, edge-of-your-seat nailbiter when it came to over-the-top drama. I loved Season 1 and am digging Season 2 so far as it heads towards the winter finale next week.

So for the Empire fan in your life, below are the must-have gift ideas.

Obviously, the best thing for a fanatic is the chance to watch and re-watch their favorite episodes over and over. Plus, the Gold Record Edition is packed with extra features like the never-before released Director’s Cut of the Pilot and the exclusive soundtrack CD. Plus you get uncut performances of the smash hits “Drip Drop” and “You’re So Beautiful”, in-depth Behind-the-Scenes Featurettes, and episode community by the cast & crew on the pilot.

See the movie that started it all. Without Hustle & Flow there is no Empire. It’s because of Taraji’s work with Terrence Howard on this film that convinced her to fight for him to be cast as Lucious Lyon. While it’s not a direct sequel or connected to the Empire world in anyway, it certainly feels like it could be a look at what could have happened to Djay and Shug in an alternate universe.
